History
The flange nut, originally introduced in the early 20th century, was designed to offer a more robust fastening option with a larger bearing surface compared to standard nuts. The addition of the flange provided improved load distribution, making the fastener more effective in high-stress environments. The galvanized iron version of this nut emerged as a solution to combat corrosion in outdoor and industrial applications, rapidly becoming a standard in construction and manufacturing industries.
